Apart from a drills and a Novocaine needles, dental offices unequivocally aren’t so bad. Soothing music, gentle chairs, magazines. What’s not to like?

Maybe that’s because Claire Shoemaker seems so calm after 50 years in one. She comes to work each day and is greeted by a good boss, accessible colleagues and still customers. She knows where all is and how all works.

It’s been that approach given Feb. 19, 1962, when Shoemaker took a dental partner pursuit during Jacob Ludwig’s bureau on E. Broad Street in Bethlehem. She had only graduated from Liberty High School and wasn’t unequivocally certain what sort

Dozens of local kids are all smiles this month thanks to a nonprofit that offers affordable dental-care services for families.

More than 40 students at Northeast Elementary School in Brighton were treated last week by Kids in Need of Dentistry, or KIND. The Denver-based nonprofit agency, which is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year, sent its Miles for Smiles bus to the school, where students received checkups, cavity fillings and, in some cases, mini-root canals known as pulpotomies.

This was the second time in as many months that KIND had visited the school, said Krystal Valdez, a coordinator for the nonprofit. In January, about 50 kids at the school and the surrounding area received dental treatment, she said.

The nonprofit picked Northeast Elementary because 23 students were deemed in need of urgent dental care, which is a particularly high number, Valdez said. KIND accepts children with Medicaid or CHP+, she said. Those who lack insurance are offered services at an 80 percent discount, meaning a filling would cost about $20 to $35, depending on the size of the cavity, she said.

“A majority of our patients do not have insurance,” Valdez said.

Brighton resident Will Trimble brought in his 4-year-old twin sons, Derek and Drake, last week for a checkup. Both received good news — no cavities.

“These kids have great teeth,” said dentist John Quigley. “It’s obvious you are doing a pretty good job of keeping them away from the candy.”

Trimble said he found out about the program after the school sent home a flier. He and his wife were still looking for insurance last month when they sent their 9-year-old boy to the clinic because of a sore tooth.

“It’s just tremendous because at the time we didn’t have insurance,” Trimble said. “Dental work is just extremely expensive. So this is nice.”

Trimble said he wasn’t entirely surprised his boys were cavity-free. Sugary drinks, such as fruit juice, are not allowed in the house, something officials say is a good idea.

“What I stress the most is that children do not drink juice, especially before they go to bed,” Valdez said. “Because then they have that sugar just sitting in their mouth for eight to nine hours and it eventually begins to rot their teeth away.”

KIND provides services at two clinics in the metro area, including one at the Tri-County Health Department building at 4201 E. 72nd Ave. in Commerce City. The Miles for Smiles bus travels year-round, including 10 weeks in rural areas such as Trinidad, Fairplay and Buena Vista.
